A Danger Game

Featured Replies

Adelaide will be a difficult beast to tame. Home ground, a new-found modus operandi. They went West last week and didn't lose by much. The lads need to be on top of their game for this.

It feels like the stakes are higher and higher each week too, seeing as we're yet to drop one!

 

We'll lose a game at some stage. But not this weekend. We'll put the squeeze on the Crows and come away with a 5 goal win


Are used to absolutely dreading it when we were playing a low team and I would read on the MFC website: “we won’t take them lightly says Jones”. We were guaranteed to lose.

I think they are different now. Goodwin says: we expect every team to bring their best. There seems to be no assumption that low teams are easybeats. So I am very hopeful.

It’s easy to find at least a couple of reasons we might loose with any game, so unless every game is a danger game then I couldn’t disagree more strongly. The reasons we should win this far outweigh the reasons we loose, crows are in the bottom 4 and we are undefeated for a reason.

I thought Carlton would be because they score well but Adelaide is a terrible defensive team and also doesn't score all that heavily. I'm trusting our team more and more, we're going to have to have breakdowns in all areas of the game to drop a game like this.

Every week someone posts that this week is a real danger game since round 1

No....im not going to get stressed at all about this game. When we drop a game i will worry then. Until then...this is absolutely brilliant.

Smash them like guitars !

The sooner we all realise we're a good team the better. We'll lose games - that's inevitable but to live week to week with 'danger game this' and the other negativity must be so taxing. We're 9 and 0. Enjoy it

We could be 19-0 playing a 16 man North Melbourne and I guarantee someone would say "This is a danger game."


The crows have been impressive considering.

They have Talia, Lynch, Crouch, Murphy, Milera all out

But, they have lost the last 5 and are gonna have a tough few months.  We should win by 5 goals if we play well/ok

we could win by 12 goals if we click

If we if we kick more than 70 points, we win this in  a canter

Danger left Adelaide a few years back....

Along the same lines dee-tox, I was secretly hoping to open this thread and find some footage of Bernie Vince performing submissive tactics on Danger at the Adelaide oval circa. 2014??


We have been a bit off since the Richmond game. I’m not sure whether this is on purpose but it may explain the slow starts. Our game appears to respond to the oppositions intensity and we eventually break them down. 
 

 I think we will look similar against the Crows (slow start then overcome them by 5-6 goals) but hope that we are switched on from the first bounce against the Dogs and Lions.

Spot on. Take on every team expecting them to play their best. This is our first proper away game with hostile fans at the teams actual home ground, Tex has been in good form (though faded recently), and they have the youthful enthusiasm that if they get going can get the fans up and about.

They score through Tex.  May will thrash him.  They have few other avenues to score.  Teams with struggling defences might be pushed by them.  When they score under 40 points for the whole game due to the dee squeeze, it will be how far.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
